Also it is contraindicated in some situations which mean it is very dangerous if it done and the healthcare provider mustn’t do it so it need expert and professional doctor to do it as in cases of hypospadius .RESULT AND ANALYSIS

It protects the child from urinary tract infection as the circumcised Children are less infected by urinary tract infection and also help in protection from sexual transmitted diseases for in the adulthood (Schoen E 2005). systemic infection. the best time for it is three weeks old because after this time will need general anesthesia which may be risky for the child(Norman S 2008).bleeding tendency and local infection(Norman S 2008). But also at the same time Islam roles don’t accept any dangers or risk from doing circumcision. And Circumcision also done in other religions as Jewish people (Nandakumar 2007).

But he thinks to travel outside Sweden to do it or try to go to non professional people in Sweden to do it and take the risk of complication.Muslim consider circumcision as good advice and believe in circumcision will protect the child and make child more healthy away from evil and bad things. These mosaic systems in Egypt make the healthcare system so fragile to be broken.
These systems include: Ministry of Health (MOH) facilities and services. However.

More than twenty years Circumcision in Egypt was doing by non professional person who sometime made complication as neonatal tetanus. I made interview with one Swedish citizen he is Muslim and he has boy 5 years old he still searching for a cheap place in Sweden to make circumcision for his child. But now the government facilitate doing Circumcision in the hospital under professional healthcare supervision to make it safer.

Sweden is divided into twenty one county councils (areas). public transportation and regional development. the national board of health and welfare (sociastyelsen) which is responsible for auditing and the Swedish council of technology assessment in health care (SBU) which is responsible on guideline production. The responsibility of the county councils is to provide good level of health services. The third level is the local authorities which responsible on the old and disabled people. equity and social security are the most important values the affect the health care system . In Sweden there is a very strong welfare system which depends mainly in taxes so the populations in Sweden pay high percent of taxes which more than 30% and depend on very small percent on patient fees. It is divided into three level of authority the first level is the central governance. This central governance is divided into three organizations the ministry of health and social affairs social department which is responsible for legislation production.

I wish that the leader in Sweden make Circumcision under the insurance.M.

I found that Sweden healthcare system is trying to adapt itself to the new coming immigrant citizen . So this high cost push people to do Circumcision under non healthcare provider and may be without official supervision .
